Fee Remission Scheme
The fee remission scheme is for families who need financial assistance to cover tuition fees or specific activity fees. Students applying for this scheme must maintain a satisfactory standard in both academic performance and pastoral report.
(是項計劃目的是為有經濟困難的家庭提供學費及特別活動費用資助。獲資助的學生，學業成績及品行表現均需符合學校要求。)
The completed form, together with all necessary documents, must be returned to the school office by hand on or before 12th April, 2024. All applications will be assessed by the school and the Fee Remission Committee, and the results will be released in mid-August 2024. (申請表格及所需文件須於2024年4月12日或之前親身交回校務處，由校方及獎助學金委員會審核，申請結果將於2024年8月中公佈。)

C. Method of Assessment
- If the total assets (the value of the living property is not included; but the value of other properties or savings and fixed deposits, shares and stocks, fixed assets, etc are included) of the applicant and the spouse exceed $500,000 they will be ineligible for the fee remission schemes. The value of assets is defined as the sum of net positive value of each individual asset (gross asset value less related outstanding liabilities).
- Those who are already receiving education allowances or financial assistance must state so on the application form as this will be taken into account when assessing fee remission applications.
- “Family members” normally refer to the applicant, his/her spouse, unmarried children and dependent parents residing with the family.
- “Annual Family Income” includes the annual income of the applicant and his/her spouse, the annual income of unmarried children residing with the family, contributions from other children and relatives/friends, and other incomes if applicable. (Please refer to Appendix I:Items of Family Income).
- The school has the final decision on the eligibility and the level of financial assistance for each application.
D. Application Procedure
